UF Transfer Summer 2018

GPA: 3.4
Transferring from: FIU
Major: Biology
Status: Applied mid January and should find out in about a week

If anyone can let me know about my chances that’d be great!

GPA: 3.7
Transferring from: College of Central Florida
Major: Computer Engineering
Status: App received 1/15, currently referred to college.

Can anyone give me an estimate of when I’ll hear back? I’m a political science major with 68 credits (after one year of college), one completed minor in Spanish, a 4.0 GPA with a 4.0 Pre-req GPA coming from UNF with a 31ACT & my application has been referred to my ‘final college’ since 1/19/18. Should I be worried? It seems to be taking a lot longer than for most people.

UF transfer admissions is not rolling, they wait until the deadline to begin reviewing everyone who applied and sending out decisions. When I called my college I was told they were still waiting on every applicant to be referred to them before they started review. That was a few days ago, they also estimated i would find out mid-march. Then again, I am engineering so you would have to call your college and see what timeline they are running.

Thank you! I actually called, it turns out they had already made their decision a bit ago but forgot to update the system, but I was accepted! Good luck to everyone else! Also CLAS is rolling, thank god

I actually found out I got accepted yesterday :slight_smile: idk if this is helpful to anyone, but you can scroll up to see my stats.

GPA: 3.39
Transferring from:FSW
Major: Health Education
Status: Application received and being evaluated

Feedback, please?
I earned my AS and applied late last year but was held up waiting to acquiring my College transcripts (long story). Finally submitted all necessary doc’s and am now waiting anxiously for acceptance into Summer A.

Anyone know how UF recalculates gpa for transfer students with an AS, or do they just use the calculated gpa on my transcript? I’ve got 120+ credit hours averaging all classes as a 3.23. Rerunning my gpa as an AA it’s calculated at a 3.39.
Is Health Education considered competitive? I have met gpa, have 7/9 pre-req’s required and would like any feedback I can get.
When initially applying, I was told that as long as I’ve met the minimum it shouldn’t be a problem, however…I’m not a patient person :slight_smile:

Thanks!

@hhollle I know people who got accepted with a 3.1 for health education major. So I think you are good! Did you receive an answer from UF?

@felix96 No, nothing yet. I’ve had the “We’ve received your application…gpa being calculated…” notification for a month now. The wait is excruciating. Thanks for your reply. Will update when I know more…

Don’t worry! Mine says “Your application for admission to the University of Florida for the Summer A 2018 term has been referred to your college for a final decision” and it’s been like that for more than a month now. Let’s hope for the best!

Hi everyone! Let me know what you think my chances are for getting into The University of Florida. Plan on applying for Spring 2019. Thank you in advance for the responses!

Accepted!!!
Logged in to check status for the millionth time yesterday at 10am. Still had admissions status that they are calculating gpa, etc.
At 5pm my application had been sent to my College for final decision. ( I may have cried happy tears).
At 9pm I pulled up my new status to show the hubby and it showed my “Congratulations!!” Acceptance status.
Still pinching myself

@hhhollle congratulations!!! I’m still waiting for a final decision! It’s driving me crazy. When did you apply? Did you call them?

@felix96 you’re still waiting?! Ugh. Applied way back in October but had to fight for my transcripts. File complete in mid- late February. Waited about 5 weeks for application to move from Admissions to my College and was approved same day. Have you called? I did at one point was was told worse case scenario late April.

@hhhollle I haven’t called yet! I just contacted my advisor two weeks ago and she said I had to be patient but honestly it’s been two months already! They received my transcripts before February 1st… I guess I’ll just have to wait. Congrats again!!!

@vaultboiye Hi did you end up hearing back about the appeal?

@vaultboiye Did they something about the appeal? My major is Environmental Engineering and I got a B in Calculus 1 and a C in Calculus 2, I am taking Calc 3 over the summer but I think my chances are done with that C :frowning:
